Awesome!! Beautiful Radio Ron!! Bet that tropical will sound awesome after you rebuild it electronically! Very glad you "beat the caveat" on eBay for high shipping chgs! That scenario proves that you can never have too-many friends that enjoy this hobby indeed! As Ive always thought, its not the vintage-radios we buy and/or restore, it's all the "nice people" we all meet along the way that continues to make this hobby worthwhile!! Lemme know if I can ever do the same for you if you purchase via eBay in the W Tx area! I have a restored FADA bakelight AM/ Tropical featuring"tropical band" included on the dial vintage mid-40s radio here in my collection. Too bad it wasnt in a nice "catalin" cabinet instead of bakelight! Congrats again on your new find!! Enjoy!! 8) Txrockr.
